I've never used Costco as the one place I go for everything. I have a list of stuff I buy there and because its in large quantities, it lasts for several weeks. I have other stuff like fruit and deli meat I get at the local grocery store and some things I get at Aldi because its cheaper than both my local place AND Costco.

You just have to know where to get the best prices for the stuff you regularly buy. Once you do that, you realize there isn't one store with all the best deals, you have to mix-n-match to really save money.

I mean, manufacturing 30-year fixed rate fully pre-payable non-recourse mortgages does not happen in a free market. It takes a lot of government subsidies to make that happen—in particular the government assumes the credit risk on something like 85% of US mortgages. The United States government is very into the idea of spending its resources to subsidize homeownership. Canada has made different policy decisions, like single-payer healthcare. If the societal choice was between universal healthcare and extremely borrower-friendly mortgages (and I don’t think that it really works that way, at least not in such stark terms) I’m not sure I’d pick the mortgages.

> Why should something that goes through a town be a highway?

Because the town wants to be as close to the highway as possible, which in practice means the town gets built on either side of it and the highway ends up going straight through the town.

If you moved the highway outside of the town then the town would just move over there because the businesses next to the highway get more business.

Your argument is dismissible on its own merits and Chomsky believing it as well won't change that, but I am curious if he does.
Right now, in CA, Costco is $0.60 cheaper than surrounding stations. I have a 25 gallon tank. This is worth $12.50 for me to fill up at Costco. I've timed the line, the longest wait I've had is 5 minutes. It's an obvious win.

I think the AI-model-as-a-service is actually a great use case.

You want to use their AI model but you don't trust them to not train on your data so you don't want to send your data to them. They don't trust you enough to send you their models.

So you encrypt your data, they compute on your data and send you the encrypted result back.

The only problem is that you have turned an expensive computation into a exponentially more expensive computation

> AWS' entire business model is making the pricing so confusing

My go to line here is that Cloud was a ZIRP. Like the whole entire thing. Took us ~10 years to wind up the cloud, and it will take years to unwind it, but the mass migration away is already happening.

To be clear, I don't mean like AWS is going out of business or anything. Just that companies are a) realizing how insanely expensive it is, b) realizing how wildly volatile the pricing is, and c) starting to reach for services with transparent, fixed pricing

This isn't fixed properly

The linked code is:

String languageCode = Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage();
Locale locale = new Locale(languageCode);
Locale.setDefault(locale);

But `getDisplayLanguage()` is defined as returning the display name, not the language code:

> if the locale is en_US and the default DISPLAY locale is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "anglais"

https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale#get...()

This then proceeds to create a locale with a corrupt language code. The language parameter of `Locale` is not validated (besides a null check), and using a corrupt Locale in `Locale.setDefault()` will cause a number of bugs

Knowing pilots, it may just be an excuse to fly.
But your primary home isn't an investment, it's a necessity. You're going to live somewhere. The only choice you have is whether to buy or rent the place you live in. So that's the comparison that should be made. Comparing your primary home to your stock portfolio is pointless because you can't live in your stock portfolio.

The GP is pointing out a key advantage of buying your primary home vs. renting: you're not exposed to the risk of rising rents. Others have pointed out disadvantages, such as being exposed to the risk of rising property taxes and rising insurance costs. How those things balance out is going to depend a lot on where your home is.
> There's no value-add that the provider can add for free and lock you in.

Couldn't you have said that about cloud services like AWS before they existed, that they can rent servers to people but there won't be any lock in?

And equally, just because that's the case with GPU providers right now, is there a reason one or more of them wouldn't be able to develop software which runs on the GPUs to do some of the things people are currently renting GPUs for, or middle-ground software which make it easier to do other stuff on them than just renting plain GPU access, and turning it into optional services (with lock in) on top of the raw hardware rental?

As an example idea: it's good that NVIDIA decided to let as many people use CUDA as possible (and I suspect if they hadn't then they wouldn't have seen nearly as much success), but if they or anyone else releases an equivalent to "CUDA v2" tomorrow, but instead of allowing anyone to download it instead put it behind a billing page with AWS-style pricing that covers both software and GPU, would it not succeed if the software did make thinks easier for people just like AWS does (in some ways)?

edit: I just realised I ignored the "for free" bit of your comment - but it wasn't free for Amazon or Google to build their cloud software either.
An all-ASCII fast-path is basically obligatory for anything that cares about performance. And then the "slow path" gets a guarantee that there will be varying-length data, and, as you'll want it to not actually be slow, you'll still need to avoid branching on the now-guaranteed-variable width.

It seems to me that Costco sells a lot of "B Stock" products. Things from manufacturers that didn't pass their Q/A or brand standards and get resorted and labeled as Kirkland products. Which I always assumed is why they have such a generous returns policy.
Interesting that they move to touchscreens. With all the Hacker News stuff that comes by every day I can easily say that 99.9% is not what I do in daily life. But building control rooms for large industrial installations is. And from my perspective we see very little requests for touchscreens. They have a place, for example on a machine in an environment were a keyboard would be in the way. But only if the operator would not be wearing gloves. Very specific applications.

For large modern control rooms users will have either a keyboard and/or a custom button panel next to the mouse/trackball. With the mouse/trackball being the primary input device to click on objects on the screen. In many cases they don't even type in values but click on buttons on the screen to ramp up or ramp down a process value. Then they don't need a keyboard.
You feel like it's new, I don't. I've evaluated migrating from full blown servers to cloud at various scales for various usages: OTA server for 1M active devices, stat server for 1M active devices, build server for Android (both pure Android that parallelizes and checks out super nearly and vendor Android where they broke all of that). In all those cases the cost of cloud was like an order of magnitude costlier. You're mentioning SSD, the various clouds I tried (I couldn't remember which I tried sorry...) had bad storage performance (it was especially bad when building Android).
Also not all those servers were maintained by my employer, when we pay top end 100Gbps server we can pay someone to maintain it for us as well for much lower money than the "cloud tax".

I have no doubt there are great use case for cloud, and that at the proper scale you can negotiate, and I understand that startups might be faster moving with the cloud. But I feel like the highest value cloud provides is 1. replacing capex with opex, and 2. making scaling easier with the direction: cloud is pay first, get questions from direction later. "on-prem" is negotiate with the direction until the service degrades and then scramble to integrate the new server under the pressure.
Yes! I wholeheartedly agree. You can only quit once. You may have stopped before, but if you ever pick it back up then you didn't quit.

Many commenters seem to be missing the distinction that makes the difference between "real" vs "fake" balsamic vinegar as mentioned in the title.

"Real" balsamic vinegar as the title uses the world real is related to protected designation of origin, abbreviated PDO in English or DOP in Italian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_designation_of_origi...

This designation in the context of balsamic vinegar involves specific grapes from specific regions, but the most important characteristic in the usage of the word real in this context is that there is only a single ingredient:

> True [traditional] balsamic vinegar is made from a reduction of pressed Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes. The resulting thick syrup, called mosto cotto in Italian [grape must], is subsequently aged for a minimum of 12 years in a battery of several barrels of successively smaller sizes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balsamic_vinegar

The confusion arises where you have products that are not traditional DOP balsamic vinegar.

Other methods of producing products labeled as balsamic vinegar could actually use the above single ingredient musto cotto but with grapes from outside the two designated regions, which is then also aged in wooden barrels for at least 12 years, the same single ingredient recipe aged in batteries of wooden barrels production method used to make so-called traditional balsamic vinegar.

Or, grape must may be mixed with wine vinegar and only be aged for as little as few months in non-wooden barrels - this is the type of product that seems to me to be less "real" as TFA uses the word.

I would personally rather consume either traditional DOP "real" balsamic vinegar, or at least a cheaper alternative which uses the same "single ingredient grape must aged in wooden barrels at least 12 years" recipe as traditional balsamic vinegar, as that is at least the same production process.

Any other vinegar product that uses blends of grape must and wine vinegar may be a fine-tasting product according to some, but to me, it isn't even the same thing, and it isn't really in the spirit of balsamic vinegar. To sell such a blend and labeling it as balsamic vinegar feels like selling blended whisky as single malt whisky - it minces words in order to subvert truth in advertising to the detriment of informed consumers attempting to buy a product that actually is what its label purports it to be.

To me, these are distinctions with a difference.

> A distinction without a difference is a type of logical fallacy where an author or speaker attempts to describe a distinction between two things where no discernible difference exists. It is particularly used when a word or phrase has connotations associated with it that one party to an argument prefers to avoid.

> For example, a person might say "I did not lie; I merely stretched the truth a little bit."

The article is more about the author's self-control problems than about Costco.

My main use of Costco has become non-prescription pharmacy products. CVS and Walgreens have marked up basic items too much. I don't buy much else there, except tires every few years.

Unfortunately, they're into the overpriced mattress racket. Look on Alibaba to see what mattresses really cost.

I used to be into native plants and that's a big ask.

Assuming a USA buyer, you'd have to ask for their zip code, then match that to the plants, many of which would probably have to be individually coded & entered (the zip codes they are native to), a map blur across the US which would vary for each species.

The binary qualities (toxic/nontoxic) on the other hand seem easy to add.

For invasiveness: that may be a reason why not too many "Amazon for plants" websites exist. But a simple binary "flagged as invasive", like a red dot on its product page, would be a terrific addition.

Same, honestly, though not specifically about chest straps.

That’s a good point regarding hardware in the name. Eventually we’d like to do all hardware and more (e.g. architecture), but currently our expertise is in mechanical and robotics engineering.

Our pitch: We make recruiting easier, better and cheaper for the companies building the hardware of tomorrow, by letting them focus on their product rather than repetitive candidate skill assessments. Currently, senior engineers in small startups and scale ups spend a lot of their time interviewing, and they often don’t do it well (remote CAD sessions aren’t really a thing). We save them time and money.

We will scale this by hiring freelancer interview engineers. This has already been done in software, very successfully: karat.com. So we think it can work at least equally well in hardware.

> Like any engineering organization, we spend some percent of our time on fixing bugs, performing maintenance, and other things that are necessary but don’t add value from a customer or user perspective. The Japanese term for this is muda.

That translates as "pointless" or "useless"... that's like, the opposite of "necessary".

Just sticking with an English word like "foundation" would make sense here - necessary, but not something a customer or user typically sees. Even further, metaphorically, fixing bugs = stabilizing the foundation.

Using foreign words just to sound fancy and ending up with the wrong meaning is just annoying.
